Thanks all, stupid me didn't realize the Free Flight - Ramp Start is absolutely perfect. I've been running it over and over, and everything is sinking in. I can successfully start the bird up, take off, naviagate and perform an ILS landing using Divert.
I guess I wasn't super clear in my post, I have done the training missions but want to practice what I've learned without the cueing.
I will check out those Maple Flag missions.
